It is a mixed-media portrait, alternating between the present - in which his mother battles a staph infection and prepares for a major surgery - and recollections of the filmmaker's past. The film draws upon a variety of poetic evocations, including Super 8 recreations of childhood memories, to express the love and anxiety, and the protectiveness and dread, that has defined his relationship with his mother.
